Soy novato en el portal de Liferay. He desarrollado un portlet en liferay para demo. Utilicé la comunicación entre portlets en este ejemplo. Lo que estoy haciendo es: - Tengo un portlet de búsqueda en el que tengo un campo de texto para la búsqueda. Cuando hago clic en el botón de búsqueda, obtiene los datos de la base de datos y muestra esos datos utilizando la búsqueda contenida en otro portlet. Utilicé la anotación ProcessEvent y ActionEvent para este proyecto.

hora, lo que quiero es que cuando haga clic en el botón de búsqueda, la página no debería actualizarse (es decir, deseo utilizar el concepto de AJAX) y los datos deberían mostrarse en el otro portlet.
